As adults, we have the goal of finding a new place to call home. Growing up doesn't have to mean feeling lost or renouncing to be in a warm and nurturing place. The only difference is that I'm not a child anymore.

That's the thing about nostalgia. We don't miss a thing by itself, but the whole context in that given time. I don't miss Windows 98. I miss being a child using that, browsing the old internet, the old terrible "web desi

There are many extensions that break in VSCodium because they expect the "code" binary. Where can I report that?

By the free market alone, letting everyone get a home sounds like a terrible decision. There's a finite number of people that need a home and by the point everyone gets their own home, your business is doomed. On the other side, lettin

> Any meditation practise that involves mindfulness and concentration done for more than 15 or 20 mins a day carries this risk. Looks like mindfulness to 15 or 20 minutes a day is a sensible choice then. > Steve Jobs was a devout Zen

The amount of performance that these SBCs are capable of delivering makes them attractive for power users that want to use them as little Linux desktop machines. Only to be incredibly disappointed once they don't deliver what they&#x27

It's sad to see that. Looks like my only option for a fast ARM workstation are the M1 macs

I disagree. I bet many average consumers would want a small phone for work, travel, etc. IMHO vendors try not to sell small flagship phones so you have to buy a foldable phone, which is way more expensive.

Those are the kind of things that make me stay away from deeper forms of meditation and mindfulness. Also, I'm not very fond of taking the traditional advice so literally. These sources focus solely on training new Buddhist monks, and

Because it's a huge step compared to most ARM SoCs. Being able to compete against a consumer high end desktop, even if it's an older one, it's a feat all by itself

While I was reading I was already thinking that. I can't believe how smart and an awesome developer she is.

For that to be true, that coin needs to abide to the same laws as real currency. If I say that "1 dollar = 1 virtual thingy" and suddenly there are a lot of virtual thingies and their price fall, then what's the crime aside m

Serious question, how can you sue over this kind of thing? I thought the whole point of crypto is that it's not regulated. And that also meant that if you got screwed then you are SOL.

Yeah. It's less like stress and more like a depressive void and a limbo where you have to work and at the same time not. Somehow this pace of low energy, zero initiative and low motivation also crushes your motivation for personal proj

IMHO boot camps are for coding like going to the gym is for exercise. Yes, you can do it all by yourself, in your house, alone. But being alone is depressing for many people, so they decide to pay whatever sum of money just to be in the sam

Thing is, trying to create a perfect first version actually takes more time and mental energy than having a defined good base, creating a first draft and testing it. Here are some tips from personal experience: 1) Program with refactoring i

Personally I like the idea of iterative development. That means, I will code knowing beforehand my first version will be crap. Because no matter how much thought I put into it, there's always a myriad of variables that get overlooked i

I worry that, once Windows also migrates to ARM, every hardware will start shipping with everything's soldered like the M1 does.

Is this prepared for worldwide locations? I'm in South America and the nearest location is a cafe in Amsterdam. Is this due to a small data set or does it set you in Europe/North America by default?

I question the idea that "more muscularity" = "more beating people up", be either on frequency or even aptitude. Gym fitness is not a good preparation for fighting. People who beat other people up are not the most muscul

We're evolved social* animals. Strength may matter, but a team of average hunters is far more successful than a strong but lone one.

Yes. AFAIK inflation in Argentina is a chicken and egg problem. The government prints money, not to have more, but to force economic movement from below. More money handed through social welfare means more money in lower classes hands, and

I personally disagree. I'm a software dev and software is still exciting to me. What kills enjoyment it's not proffesionalism but efficiency. You stop exploring new things and start doing things the fastest and least effort consum

Also, the computer community at the time was more literate, in average. Everyone who had to work with computers had to learn how a computer works, how to work with the command prompt. In a way, you had to become a pseudo IT guy. Everyone wh

Maybe "normal users" are not a good parameter for comparison after all.

That's just rationality intertwined with nostalgia. I mean, I do acknowledge how messy 90s websites were. Overly bloated with GIFs and annoying MIDIs playing on the background. But they were full of personality. And it was also a time
